Weekend Schedule

[El_Duderino (Lance)]

I would like some certain lights to stay on later (i.e. to sunrise) on weekends, and then revert back to their normally schedule during the week.

I have a input boolean, entitled Entertaining, which I was trying to leverage, but if there’s another, better way, I’m all ears.

Thank you!

There is a workday sensor you can make use of. it also takes public holidays into account.

i just use inject nodes.

That is helpful. Any way you could share the entire flow?

Sweet. Can I see how you have the random Alexa TTS setup? I tried formatting the change to take the random number and replace with {“message”:“Message here”} but it’s giving me an API error.

Have you looked into the Big Timer node? Very powerful for those sorts of things

[El_Duderino (Lance)]

Wow! I use Big Timer a lot, but never realized it had all the additional features for day of the week/month. I’ll have to revisit that! Thank you.

i just reworked my flow to use the workday sensor. so it won’t wake me up on holidays.

[El_Duderino (Lance)]

Stupid question, but what node are you using for the workday sensor and the “stone home”? I don’t have a node with that icon.

you need to have the HA-websocket palette installed.

You can also add this to your flow:

Im using google but i think it works on Alexa too.

Hi @stone…any way you can show me a screenshot of the change node in the Alexa example? I’m getting the number announced as output, and I’ve tried a few iterations.
